I was recently diagnosed with Celiac after suffering with many allergies since 1990. I am currently trying to find a Celiac G.I Doctor around Dallas, TX. Any help will be appreciated.

Bopeeps,

If you post this request under the Doctor forum, with the Topic Title as "Need GI in Dallas, TX" it will alert people in that area that might be able to help. A search (if it's working, does not always work for me) for "Dallas, TX" and you might find someone has already answered your question.

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
